On the other hand, if you're being offended by what people are doing halfway around the world, you might as well hang up the phone, turn off the TV, and keep doing what you think is the right thing. You should certainly listen to their opinions, but in the end, they shouldn't dominate your decisions. Which seems to be what is happening in a remarkable number of places. People become obssessed, not with their neighbor, but with people they've hardly ever met.
I can hope that people can be a little calmer about that, and not fly off the handle at quite the same rate.
